CS4 Simple Project

Hello

Firstly I've dabbled a little bit in the past with Flash, do a fair bit of programming in various other programs so although I'm classed as a newbie with flash I can soon get my head round it when I get a few examples.

I've found that the best way to learn something is to have a project and I now have a project that I want to get done as quickly as possible.

I have just created a new build for a laptop with Windows 7 which will be used for 30+ laptops that we are about to buy. I'm trying to make a descent screensaver for the company for a professional finish.

What I have in mind is having several images (Movie Clips in the Library) that I would like to look through. At the same time I want to make these randomly placed around the screen, displaying each image one at a time, taking about 1 second to fade it in, display the MC for about 3 seconds and then taking a second to fade the image out before the next image.

I have a program already that converts the SWF file to a SCR file that will play fine, so its just the actual work of the flash file that I need to do.

I can create the movie all in one timeline tweening the fades in and out, but this will soon get very big especially if several images are used, but you can;t randomly move them around the screen (well I suspect you can but its still not the best way to do it).

In my mind I guess that there should only be one or two frames and several lines of code to complete this.

So any help would be most appreciated, where I need to place the code, how I action the code to start with, how to bring in teh MC from the library then fade it in / out before the next clip.

Thanks in advance for any help, I suspect that for most of you this will be 5 minutes of you rtime to write the code.
